George Walton
Birth: 1760, England
Death: Sep. 12, 1832, Pensacola, Escambia Co., Florida
Dorothy Camber Walton's life contained a cast of real-life characters who helped form the United States. She was introduced to them through her husband, George Walton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
George Walton was a politician who was once charged with writing the preamble and constitution for the new state of Georgia, according to "The Walton House," by Leora M. Sutton. His friends and acquaintances included John Adams, Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson.
George Walton and Dorothy Camber were courting during this time, according to Sutton's book.
"When George Walton returned from the historic signing, he quietly slipped a small package from his pocket and could hardly wait to pay his respects to the widow, Mrs. Thomas Camber and see her daughters. (George's favorite daughter was the eldest daughter, Dorothy.)
"Dorothy could not hide her joy at being loved by a very popular, promising young lawyer and congressman."
Not long after their marriage, the Waltons became prisoners during the Revolutionary War at Sunbury, 40 miles south of Savannah, Ga. George Walton used his connections to have his wife and their slaves sent to sea, arriving at the port of Charles Town. Their ship was captured by a British frigate and sent instead to the West Indies. Dorothy Walton was exchanged for two British colonels and sent back to join her family, according to "The Walton House." Her husband, the book says, was exchanged for a British general.
"While Dorothy was on the Island of St. Eustatia, she was repeatedly taunted with offers to return to England, the land of her loyal British father, but she she showed her remarkable firmness in her decision to remain by the side of her rebel husband."
After the war, the couple lived in Augusta, GA until her husband's death in 1804. She then moved to Pensacola with her son and his family.
George Walton is guardian of his brother's children. It is possible that William Walton of Roanoke who was born in Georgia is his son or one of his wards. William names a daughter Ann George Walton [she married a Mitchell] Naming tradition of the time favors that William Walton is the s/o George [the signer].
